create_objective
Create a new objective (the O in OKR). Objectives are aspirational goals. After creating one, use generate_key_results to get intelligent, context-aware key result suggestions, then create_key_result to add the best ones. An objective without key results has no way to measure progress. [write-tie...

What create_objective does on Freedom Mcp
AI agents use create_objective to create or update resources in Freedom Mcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Freedom Mcp environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
year | number | — | Year for this objective (e.g., 2026) |
title | string | Yes | Objective title - a clear, aspirational goal (e.g., "Build & Dogfood Freedom OS") |
companyId | string | Yes | FreedomOS company id to act within (you must be a member). Required for company-scoped tools. |
description | string | — | Brief context or notes about this objective. Do NOT include key results here. |

Why create_objective is rated Medium
This tool creates new data (an objective/OKR) in a business system, which is a Write category action. It is reversible—objectives can be modified, archived, or deleted. The severity is medium rather than low because OKRs are strategic business documents whose creation by an unauthorized or misguided AI agent could waste organizational effort, create confusion about priorities, or mislead stakeholders, though the…
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new objective' and mentions 'creating' as the primary action. The tool creates OKR objectives, which are reversible business data structures that can be modified or archived later, as evidenced by the sibling tool…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_objective safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Freedom Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_objective, this is the rule to start with:
create_objective stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Freedom Mcp, apply this rule, and every create_objective call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_objective
Create a new objective (the O in OKR). Objectives are aspirational goals. After creating one, use generate_key_results to get intelligent, context-aware key result suggestions, then create_key_result to add the best ones. An objective without key results has no way to measure progress. [write-tier — first use may require a manager's approval; a from-now-on approval makes future calls seamless, a just-once approval re-asks next time.]. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Freedom Mcp MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
create_objective accepts 4 parameters: year, title, companyId, description. Required: title, companyId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Freedom MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_objective: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Freedom Mcp. Nothing to install.
create_objective is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_objective rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_objective. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
create_objective is provided by the Freedom MCP server (https://twuluxmoognlwtmaoqgo.supabase.co/functions/v1/freedom-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
